Re: Handling PDF's sent in lieu of online access ? Peter Picerno 28 Jul 2008 19:03 UTC

If your institution could do this, you could put it online as an
e-reserve document with a note in the OPAC and a link to the 'course'
you would have to create for the journal issue to reside in. Then when
the publication problem is over you can take the course and reserve down
off the site.
